.... with this timeless treasure.

Built in 1882, this magnificent double-brick residence is one of Waimate’s cherished historic treasures—expertly transformed by the current vendors into a truly gracious character home. Their dedication to preserving the soul of the property while elevating it with thoughtful modern comforts has created something genuinely special.

From the moment you arrive, the home makes a statement. Cottage gardens, brick pathways, established trees, and charming swing chairs framed by a classic white picket fence create an enchanting street presence that turns heads every time. It’s the kind of home you can’t help but slow down and admire.

Inside, the “wow” continues at every turn. Lovingly refurbished from top to bottom, the home has been painted, re-roofed, and fully updated with modern plumbing and electrical. The interior showcases new flooring, fresh paint, elegant wallpaper, and an incredible blend of restored features—leadlight windows and doors, ceiling roses, decorative fireplaces, and stunning recycled NZ Beech floorboards that have been beautifully waxed. Every room has its own distinctive personality, creating an unforgettable living experience.

The modern country kitchen is a standout, complete with wooden cabinetry, excellent pantry space, dishwasher, and a 900mm gas cooker that any home chef will adore. The dining area features French doors and a new log burner, while a cozy sitting room flows effortlessly into the sun-drenched conservatory—an ideal spot to unwind or entertain year-round.

Accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms and a beautifully styled bathroom with a claw-foot bath, pedestal vanity, separate shower, and toilet. The laundry flows from the kitchen and enhances the kitchen with additional storage and a butler’s tub. A second toilet is conveniently located by the back door for access to the garden. A covered carport provides easy access to the house, and an attached workshop will delight any handyman.

This remarkable home has stood proudly since 1882 and continues to do so—timeless, inviting, and utterly unforgettable. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a restored piece of Waimate history with true “wow factor” woven through every inch.
